Five Tri-City pitchers combined on a four-hit shutout while the offense scratched out the game's lone run in the seventh inning to lift the ValleyCats to their fourth straight victory.

Troy Scribner started with five shutout innings, and relievers Aaron Vaughn, Kyle Weiland, Jordan Mills and Ryan Thompson finished out the final four innings to give the ValleyCats the sweep of the two-game set. Vaughn picked up the win, tossing two shutout innings, and Thompson came in to get the last two outs to earn his fourth save of the season.

ValleyCats third baseman Nick Tanielu reached on a throwing error to lead off the seventh inning and came around to score a couple batters later on Ariel Ovando's RBI single to right field.

Tri-City sits at 27-12 overall and has built an eight-game lead over second-place Connecticut in the Stedler Division.

The ValleyCats will return home to Bruno Stadium on Thursday to open a three-game series against the Staten Island Yankees at 7 p.m.
